That outfit is hideous. Why would someone do changes to a nice dress?! The green and brown combo isn't bad but with the navy it all looks messy. Th brown belt looks was too big (but could be just the picture). Loved her necklace, make up and hair was nicely done.

I love the skirt. It looked beautiful I'm the original version. And I love the green top, it fits her. The color combination is great. But the top and the skirt proportions are off and don't fit well together and don't get me started on the horrid brown Cumberbund thing going on. Makes her look huge, and so akward in the dress.

I absolutely love it!!Only Máxima gets away with this ensemble while blowing everyone away with her mesmerizing smile and exceptional presence!!
Oh,and did I mention the dove's egg...everyone present will remember the dove's egg...

I absolutely love Maxima's daring, but this just does not work! There is way too much going on. At least the brown & blue are similar in texture but the green just comes out of nowhere! I really love the original blue design, she should have left well enough alone!!

that's outfit have a place on the most horrible EVER;
nothing is working neither the flashy colors or the shiny fabrice and that band on waist is just biiig NO

In her 17 years in the Netherlands Máxima has worn a lot of beautiful outfits, a lot of hideous outfits and a lot of horrible outfits. This evening japon, paired with beautiful jewels and a nice hairdo, just for listening to some music does not at all fall in the category "most horrible".

On TV the dress did not look shiny and certainly not with flashing colours, that is only caused by a whole battery of cameras besieging the royal couple outside the Opera.

She looks great! The whole look is fantastic!
This highlights my point- there are so many talented Dutch designers out there she should wear more of them instead of the routine hit-or- miss- easily recognizable Natan!
